Dear Mandy;
I would like to extend the thanks and appreciation of our students and staff to the team from Absolute Leadership Development who came to Banbury Heights School to facilitate our “Think Day”.
Our students from grade four to grade eight were engaged in the presentation from beginning to end. The mix of music, video and personal presentations provided meaningful and relevant information that inspired students to share, reflect and write. I have included some student writing samples to provide feedback in the voices of the students themselves. Follow up from staff and parents indicated that the messages of value of self and others, honesty and purpose highlighted in the presentation were shared by students with many of their families. As one parent observed, although the topics were significant, even the youngest students felt “uplifted and empowered” to have a positive impact on their own lives and of those around them.
As we progress through the finalization of our school plan for improvement, we will look forward to having a team from Absolute return to present next year’s focus on love, perseverance and respect as a post of our character education and bullying prevention activities. Please find enclosed payment for the supplementary workshops and a donation from the students of our school to further support your work.
Yours truly,
Lori Henderson, Principal
